Xoteiros Do Forró came out of northeast Brazil in the mid-1990s. Their song "A Dança do Cheim-eim-eim" caught on quickly and became their best-known track.
The group's lineup included Luiz Gonzaga Júnior on vocals and accordion, Gildécio de Amorim on bass and vocals, and Elisson Bigode on drums and vocals. They put out albums like "Cheim-eim-eim" in 1996, "Forró das Antigas" in 1998, and "Acústico" in 2002.
Their live shows sometimes drew complaints about being too raucous or suggestive, but they kept playing for their fans. The band's mix of traditional forró with pop touches gave them a sound that stuck around in Brazilian music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
